NYE'S HORRORSCOPE.
New York World.

"Rlng the bell and the door will open," is the remark made by small label over bell handle in Third ave- nue, near Eighteenth street, where Madame La Foy reads the past, pres ent and future at so much per read. Love, marriage, divorce, business, spec ulation and sickness are there handled with the utmost impunity by "Mad- anne La Foy, the famous scientific as- trologist," who has monkeyed with the planets for twenty years, and if she wanted any information, has tread it in the stars"

After awhile l was removed to the onsultation- room, where Madame La Foy, seated behind a small, oil cloth-covered ta- ble, rakes up old personalities and pries into the future at cut rates.

 "Certainly not. What would you like to know?"
 "Why, l want to know all can for the money" l said, in a bantering tone. "Of course 1 do not want to know what l already know. 1t is what do not now know that desire to know. Tell me what I do not know, madame. 1 will detain you but moment"
 She gave me back my large, round half dollar and told me that she was already weary. She asked me to ex- cuse her. She was willing to unveil tho future to me in her poor, weak way, but she could not guarantee to let large flood of light into the dark ened basement of benighted mind for half a dollar.
 "You can tell me what year and on what day of what month you we're born," said Madame La Foy, "and will outline your life to you. I gen. erally require lock of the hair, but in your case we will dispense with it."

 "This brings you under Venus, Mer- cury and Mars. These three planets were in conjunction at the time of your birth. You were born when the sign was wrong and you have had more or less trouble ever since. Had you been born when the sign was in the head or the heart, instead of the feet, you would not have spread out over the ground so much.
 "Your health is very good, as is the health of those generally who are born under the same auspices that you were. People who are born under the reigu of the Grab are apt to be cancer ous. You, however, have great lung power, and wonderful gastric possi- Utilities. Yet, at times, you would be easily upset. A strong cyclone that would unroof court house or tip over through train would also upset you, in spite of your broad, firm feet, if the wind got behind one of your ears.
 "You will be married early and you will be very happy, though your wife will not enjoy herself much. Your wife will be much happier during her second marriage.
 "You will prosper better in busi- ness matters without forming any partnerships. Do not go into partner ship with 8 small, dark man who has neuralgia and fine yacht He has abundant means, but he will go through you like an electric shock.
 "Tuesdays and Saturdays will be your most fortunate days on which to borrow money of men of light hair. Mondays and Thursdays will be your best days for approaching dark men,
